Crunchy cashews, tender chicken, celery and mushrooms make a filling and easy to prepare stir fry. This is a big hit with my wife and me, says Richard W. Borchers of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 celery ribs, sliced
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
5 teaspoons canola oil, divided
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1/3 cup lightly salted cashews, toasted
1 cup hot cooked rice
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients until smooth; set aside.
2. In a large skillet, saute celery and onion in 2 teaspoons oil until tender. Remove and keep warm.
3. In the same skillet over medium heat, cook chicken in remaining oil for 5-6 minutes on each side or until chicken juices run clear. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to the pan. Add the peas, broth, mushrooms and celery mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cashews; serve with rice. Yield: 2 servings.
